One reason for holding off on the drawing until next weekend was that I planned to spend this weekend migrating my little vestpocket store from...
OK. Maybe. How ‘bout let’s see ten more photos of coins, critters, landscapes, or antiques, from ten different members (regardless of whether...
At present, I intend to hold the drawing sometime on Sunday, March 21st. But don’t hold my feet to the fire on that if I’m a little late. ;)

Perhaps a touch of horn silver?
It looks all right to me- nice, in fact- though I'm not the final word to trust on such things, by a long shot. I saw the title before I clicked...
I agree. I think that's probably the way it happens, most of the time. It is a much more common and plausible scenario than drug-addled...
It doesn't look like Grandpa's collection so much as his sock drawer. And it might have been Grandpa himself who spent it.
WOW!!!! Happy dance for you! I was expecting to see one or two silver finds, but... wow. :greedy: That is utterly amazing. Look at those old...
